There are plenty of creative directions for the Destroyer to take.

Samoa Joe debuted on the main roster in January this year and immediately became a major talking point. He aligned himself with Triple H, helping the King of Kings destroy Seth Rollins.

Samoa Joe even prevailed in a Fatal 5-way match featuring Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt to become the Number One Contender for the Universal Championship in April and followed it up with a terrific feud against Brock Lesnar.

However, an unfortunate knee injury put the Destroyer on the shelf shortly after Summerslam, temporarily curtailing his momentum. So, let's take a look at the five best booking options for Joe when he eventually returns.

#5 Stable with Authors of Pain

These behemoths should join forces with Samoa Joe

The Authors of Pain (AoP) are fixtures in NXT's tag team division and could shake up the main roster with their arrival. Both Akam and Rezar are two monsters looking to wreak havoc everywhere they go. They lost the tag team titles to Sanity at Takeover Brooklyn and are currently scheduled for a rematch against Sanity and The Undisputed Era.

AoP have spent over a year in NXT, and their move to the main roster looks imminent. They have teamed up with Samoa Joe in the past and have achieved success. These three Superstars together can be a major force to be reckoned with, and with WWE currently lacking a powerhouse heel stable, they can certainly climb to the top of the mountain.
